Whoa.

No “water shortage” in that ’thar town! :)

Invention of the Water Fountain?

Does the cactus shrink to a smaller size?

Don’t forget, cacti don’t need much water. Look how they survive in the desert with only two drops of rain per year.

Jane? That’s new….well…since Sept 2019 apparently

I read in a gardening book that a woman had a cactus. She subscribed to a Phoenix newspaper and whenever it reported rain, she watered it.

Gasp! And all over her new dirt floor…

I’m surprised the cat isn’t over there licking up the overflow!

Legend has it that in the late ‘60s a woman in New York City bought a potted cactus. Not being able to figure out how often to water it, she got a mail subscription to a Phoenix newspaper. When it rained in Arizona, she’d water it.

That cactus is well on it’s way to seaweed.

And Las Vegas was born.

Mother Nature and her subtle messaging.

Succulentus Maximus

The original inspiration for the hypodermic needle.

What gave you that thought Grace? (It’s also a different cactus than yesterday)

Its a new style of water fountain

From cactus to leek!

It’s also shrinking – which is weird

it is a foutian

I grow cacti in my yard in western New York. It survives winters with temps of 10 below zero, long rainy periods, and long times of hot and dry. It just doesn’t seem to care much about receiving any care. Be careful weeding around it. It does care about that.

Or…It is just marking its territory.

Let’s spray it survives!

That cactus may need a larger pot.

Apparently it’s not cave broken.

do you hear something? it sounds like glub, glub..

Ah the first indoor shower!

What? You’ve never seen a cactus fountain before?

Call a plumber. It prung a leak

That’s some impressive capillary action.
